Thornhill questions
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you cover Thornhill?
We do. We send a technician to Thornhill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What about the toilet?
Ask us. The inside of a bowl is always wet and scrubbed, so we will tell you what will last.
Are there extra charges for Thornhill?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What coloured bath resurfacing costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Thornhill. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole suite
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes one to two days for a full suite, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Thornhill, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Coloured shower trays
- Whole bathroom suites
- Coloured basins
- Avocado, pampas and pink baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing changes the colour with everything left in place. Our coloured bath resurfacing starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why Thornhill customers choose us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted
